I think you can call that "The Athletic Sock Foot"

Looks like socks with elastic tops!

A Point Of Interest!

Not bad, for not being professional- I am a professional dog groomer- thinning shears by the eyes like the eye-wells will help trim down around eyes without harshly cutting out hair- just keep practicing though, and things will start evening out.

thanks--i have some thinning shears but cant seem to get them to cut (or at least not as good as scissors and i get nervous around her eyes), is there some trick to those? plus she is 8 months old and full of energy--although she did sit better this time too. its a learning process for us both. thanks for your advise, i really appreciate it

She looks great. My daughter has a aussie doodle that needs trimmed, she looks homeless at the moment.
I'm going to show her this pic, maybe she will be willing to trim more once it warms up.

no she is a golden doodle--I used to raise golden retrievers and they were outside dogs and they never were comfortable in the house. I only had my male left when I came into town. he was never truly happy to be inside . he shed a lot so when I decided to get another dog I wanted at least part golden (they are such amazing dogs) but didn't want the shed. this dog is a wonderful mix. I got her at 8 weeks and spent 7 weeks wondering what I was thinking getting a pup, but she is pretty smart. I cant imagine having 5 of her though wow--you guys must be busy

What a darling! I groomed dogs for a while. My advice is to invest in a new professional grooming scissors. And, thinning shears as suggested. You won't regret it. It will make grooming much easier. There were some dogs it took two of us to groom. One of us held the dog still, and the other gave the haircut.

Correction - Goldendoodle! I should know better since we have 2. I tend to lump them all together since they all are part poodle. We actually have 8 if you include my in-laws dogs when they are here for 3 months every year. We absolutely love them! No shedding and always happy and friendly. It’s too many I know but we’ve got a big house and 3 acres for them to play and run. The big problem is the swimming pool. 3 of them love the water and are always trying to keep them from taking a quick dip!

sounds like fun I used to have a 10 acre farm with a creek running thru it--but seeing as they were outside dogs it wasn't an issue haha. but I have an image of a dog digging and then going for a swim--do yours dig? my goldens dug a lot, my dood dug up a friends flower bed last fall!! I was always amazed that I could have bird dogs that never bothered my poultry flocks though
